25.01.2022 Why is mental health so hard to fix? Because so much is interlinked - here's one quick example. Kids are going back to school - feel relief I can do what I need to, followed by thoughts about what do I need to do, then feel guilt followed by thoughts about I love them, is it wrong for me to not have them here, I miss them, am I a good parent, then fear followed by thoughts about should they really be back and school - will they be safe, what if someone else has it and passes ...it on - it wasn't really that bad having them home, back to guilt - should they be here with me - and on it goes. This happens in hundreds of variations and repeats for days / weeks. No wonder you're exhausted and your mind is racing all the time. How could you hope to unravel all of that in real time on your own? See more

24.01.2022 When life becomes easier and energy levels return, it's easy to forget how challenging life was. At the end of a program when a person says: 'I can't remember being that bad, but that's what I wrote', we get a real sense of how far they have come. Whether it's going from inactivity to hyperactivity, from hyperactivity to happiness and productivity or whether they are moving to higher states of peak performance without stress, all that matters is that you improve. Do you want your life to be happier and more successful?

22.01.2022 'I feel like I want to dance again and this morning I couldn't stop singing in the shower' This came up recently with someone who had finished their program. They felt so much better and the major issues they'd been having, had all been resolved. 'My life really is so good' they said. There was a real joy and vibrancy to them. ... It wasn't always this good. When they first inquired a few years ago, it was a different story. At that stage there were relationship issues with various members of their immediate and extended family, work and financial pressures and other challenges had made life and sleep impossible. They tried for another couple of years to work it out, but everything they tried only lead to short term relief. By the end of our first session they could see why all the things they had tried hadn't worked, but more importantly they felt better for the first time in a long time. As we progressed, they continued to feel better, take charge of their lives and resolve all the things that had prevented them enjoying life like they knew they could. Are you ready to dance and sing again? If so let's have a chat. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

21.01.2022 School goes back tomorrow at last! For everyone who has done it tough - yes that's most people, now's the time for you. Whether it's getting a coffee and sitting outside to enjoy it. Whether it's reading a book, getting things done that you couldn't do, now's the time for self care. The Covid numbers are climbing rapidly through Europe, the USA never stopped and we have already been through a tough second wave - we don't know what's to come, so look after yourself now.... If you need to chat about what's been tough, so that if things change again you're better prepared, let's book a time to talk. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

18.01.2022 In the end it's a simple choice - do you want be happier, feel better and enjoy life more as time goes on, or do you want to go the other way towards anger, sadness, anxiety and depression. It's a continuum and you are always going one way or the other. What direction are you heading in? Do you want it to change? When you're ready let's have a chat. http://highertruth.com.au/

17.01.2022 Life not working the way you want? Find you're spending endless time and energy trying to feel better, but not getting anywhere? Unfortunately this happens every time you try to fix the symptoms. Without resolving the causes the symptoms will return forever. What if you don't know the cause?... Then it's even harder. But if you could be taken through a process to identify the causes and you could resolve them so that your symptoms were gone forever how much better would that be? How much better would your life be? If you've had enough of symptom treatment - trying to fix your sleep, then let's organise a time to chat. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

17.01.2022 All our resistance is internal. 'I don't want this This isn't fair, They shouldn't have ...' When we resist - we suffer and get caught up in hours of justifications, our minds spinning endlessly.... Does it ever change what happened? But If the resistance is internal, then we are 100% responsible for holding onto it and that means we also have the power to let it go. What happens if we let it go? We feel better, the mind stops going in circles we have learnt from what happened we have the space and time to focus on what does matter Then we can live again. Have you had enough of being trapped in the circles you have unconsciously created? If so let's have a chat. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

16.01.2022 Feel like you have to talk all the time? What happens if you don't? Is there a sense of losing control or of being found out if someone else starts asking the questions or leading the conversation? Doing this all the time is exhausting and usually leaves you with a smaller group of 'friends' and no real sense of connection. If you really want to connect, have meaningful relationships and are ready to face your fears, let's have a chat.... http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

15.01.2022 'I've been feeling really good - how long do you think this will last?' I hear this from people I work with all the time. The answer is always the same - 'this is forever, but you don't have to stop here - it can get even better than this'. If you're used to feeling bad or just OK, then to feel good seems so unusual, it seems hard to believe it's going to stay. But this is what happens when you treat the causes of how you've been feeling. Once they're resolved they no longer ...have any impact on you. Is there something that's holding you back? Have you had enough of feeling anxious, having your mind racing all the time and not being able to sleep? Are you looking for a long term natural solution? If so you can book in to have a chat or download the free guide to work through on your own. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

15.01.2022 Sometimes you experience real trauma in life and the impact can go on for years if not treated. While the event may be short lived, the impact may prevent you from: having strong relationships, getting better jobs, enjoying good health and in the worst cases stop your life completely.... You don't have to relive the events to be free from them. You do need to resolve them so you can be free. Are past events stopping you from living the life you know you're capable of? Are you ready to let go of the burden of carrying them with you forever? See more

14.01.2022 Why do I keep feeling anxious and depressed? Because there's something deeper that leads to those states. We can resolve the anxiety and depression and you will feel much better, but if we resolve what's leading to it in the first place, then you will be completely free. Are you ready to work that deep, so you can enjoy freedom? When you're ready, let's chat... http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

14.01.2022 Are you trying to fix your poor sleep patterns by working on sleep hygiene - cool dark room, no social media or t.v. before bed, no caffeine and doing lots of exercise to be tired. You may get some results but usually they don't last long.... If you deal with why your mind is racing and why you keep tossing and turning which is preventing sleep, then the the sleep will sort itself out. Rather than spend time trying to fix the symptoms - fix the causes then all the symptoms disappear. See more

13.01.2022 If you want life to get better, you have to be prepared to let go of something you are doing or thinking now, that is in the way of your life improving. If the doing and thinking you're using now was working, life would be improving all the time. 'Are you ready to change?' It's the most fundamental question you need to ask yourself, as if you aren't open to change and want to keep everything as it is, hoping it will get better, you're stuck. If you are ready, then change ca...n be very quick and life can become so much better. So are you ready to change? http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

11.01.2022 It doesn't matter where you are on the scale, in terms of how easy your life is. What does matter is that you can change it. Where do you fit and how easy is your life? Are you ready for your life to be happier and more productive without stress? If it's time to talk, let's book a time that works for you.... http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

11.01.2022 Is there something you're hiding? You don't want anyone else to find out, you tie yourself in knots to keep it hidden, but at what cost? Over the years it eats away at you, robbing you of your energy, your happiness and your relationships. Is it worth the cost?

11.01.2022 'I could feel it changing as we did it. All the pressure was disappearing and now my head is clearer and I just feel better. Is this what happens every time?' 'Yes it does and we're just scratching the surface. Imagine how much better you will feel in a couple of months of doing this and more' This is a recent conversation I had with someone after the first session. Most people are surprised at how much better they feel and how quickly it works. ... The reason it works so quickly is that we are undoing the root causes of the problem, not the symptoms the problem is causing. Because we're working at the root cause, it's resolved for the long term instead of the short term. Are you ready for that type of improvement? http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

11.01.2022 When you are changing it can be unsettling. You may start standing up for yourself if you haven't been or you may stop being difficult if you've been reactive. Just this process of changing may make you feel a bit out of sorts. 'This isn't the way I normally am'. But that is the point. You are changing from the way you were before and that's a good thing. It was what you were doing before that wasn't working for you. ... Welcome the transition - this is you becoming a better more happier you! If you're ready to change let's have a chat http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

10.01.2022 'I haven't been into the the office for 39 weeks and we're being asked to go back in and I feel distressed just at the though of it.' This was a conversation I had with someone last week. Do you feel the same way? If so you're not alone. Looking for some strategies to overcome the anxiety of going through another major change?... If you need to chat let's book a time. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

09.01.2022 The one secret to healing anything: mental, emotional or physical is to let go of your resistance to it. When we don't like what's happening, we resist it and in the process make it worse. A simple example. Some people will resist having an injection and suffer pain from it, while others can get thousands of injections in a short space of time (tattoo) and have no reaction. There's only one difference - one doesn't want it to happen, the other does. So what is it you are resisting?

09.01.2022 Always good to get great feedback! If you can't read it - here's the copy. 'When I was first introduced to Michael, I was bit concerned and honestly, I didn’t have much confidence. My initial thought was how would a three-month program possibly help me with the lifelong anxiety, fear, and shyness that I was suffering from. Then again, I thought, maybe I should give it a go it wouldn’t hurt. However, after first couple of sessions with Michael, I felt some transformation h...appening. I started to become calmer, relaxed and less anxious. I started to become happier and more joyful than I was before. The relationship with my immediate family and friends started to improve. Michael helped me to understand my emotions and the hidden causes for those unconscious feelings. He taught me the techniques of letting go of those negative feelings. After completing the program, I’m in a much better state of mind now. Michael provided me with the tools to cultivate a joyful life and showed me the direction to get there. I will be forever grateful to Michael for changing my life. I genuinely believe, the decision I took to participate in this program was the best decision I have taken in my life. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to live a happy and joyful life without fear and anxiety.' See more

06.01.2022 You've been in lock down for nearly 6 months and while at the start it was ok, it's continued to get harder. Emotions are closer to the surface, tempers are shorter, tears are always on the verge of spilling over and you just hope none of your friends sees you down the street and asks you how you are, because if they really ask, you know it will all be too much and you may lose it. 'What will they think of me if I start crying?... I can't tell them how close to the brink I am or they won't want to have anything to do with me any more. How could I have got this bad? How am I going to get the kids back to school in a couple of weeks - I'm not coping and neither are they?' If this is ringing any bells and you need to talk, let's book in a time for a confidential chat. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

06.01.2022 Ever noticed some people just bring you down? Every time you catch up with them, you leave feeling like you've had 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. It's ok if you don't see these people much or can limit the time you spend with them, but what if they are your partner? You may notice that as soon as you're apart you start to recover, but as soon as you're back together again you feel drained. You can only do this for so long, so there's two options.... Either you finish the relationship or you get to the place where you aren't affected by them. Either way you will feel better and ultimately this is what it's about - you feeling strong and being able to enjoy your life. Everyone has a right to live a happy life. See more

05.01.2022 'I have tried to treat my sleep for 20 years and nothing I've ever done has ever worked and now in less than 2 months I'm sleeping through the night again - I can't even understand how this happened' This was a recent conversation I had with someone I was working with. It went on with 'Who would have thought those things that happened when I was growing up caused the sleep problems - I just dismissed those as things that happen that you just get over' This is why what I do w...orks - we deal with the cause of the sleep issues, not the sleep itself. It's like the fable about the princess and the pea. She couldn't understand the small irritation (pea) that was stopping her from sleeping. Take away the irritation and the sleep sorts itself out! I can't say you'll get to marry a prince, but at least you'll be able to sleep and that may be even better.

05.01.2022 Feeling like a failure? I was working with someone who was doing everything they could to be a success? They worked harder than anyone else. They put in more hours, weren't doing anything fun and despite all the work and whatever success they did get, something still didn't feel right. Someone would criticise them and their world fell apart. It gnawed away at them and life was getting harder. ... No matter how hard they worked or what they did they still felt bad. The underlying issue was feeling like a failure. It would never matter how successful they became. While they felt like a failure they always had to do more and work harder. Once feeling like a failure was resolved, everything else changed. The pressure to perform came off. Their relationships changed, they looked after themselves and they became more successful than they ever had. Is feeling like a failure standing in your way? How much different would your life be if you felt good? Need to chat? http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

04.01.2022 Will the same thinking that got you into where you are now, get you out? If it won't, how can you get better on your own? Who will introduce you to a different way of thinking and seeing things. Make sure it's someone who has had the courage to make changes themselves and has proven it in their own lives. Talking about change is one thing, actually changing is another. ... Choose some one who is authentic. See more

04.01.2022 It's Sunday night and another week of ... ahead. Do you dread tonight above all others? The uncertainty of what's going to happen. Not being sure if you'll get through it. Wondering what happened over the weekend with others and if that means your life will be harder. How much longer can you do this?... The lying awake till all hours. The constant spinning of your mind. The exhaustion during the day. Deep down you know it doesn't have to be this way - you just haven't found the right doorway out of it - until now. End insomnia naturally - no pills. See more

03.01.2022 Have you had enough of being at the mercy of your emotions? Sadness one minute, feeling hurt the next, then anger and possibly some fear and anxiety thrown in as well. How can you function when all this is going on? How do you keep motivated at work? Let alone the exhaustion and lack of sleep that comes with it all.... What if you could let all that go and feel happy again? How much easier would life be? If emotional turmoil is too much and you need some strategies to resolve it then let's have a chat. http://highertruth.com.au/ See more

02.01.2022 Feeling flat? Just about everyone I have worked with over the last week has felt down. The reasons have varied from lock down distress, to Trump, China, what's happening in the world generally and even not having the kids at home! It doesn't matter what triggers the distress and understanding why it's there doesn't make a difference, the only thing that helps is resolving it. If you've been feeling flat and you've had enough there is a natural way out of this.
